All the Republican presidential candidates save for Ron Paul were running a remote race for delegates in the Pacific Northwest Saturday, looking for momentum out of Washington's low-key caucuses but focusing their resources on the Super Tuesday prize of Ohio. 

Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich have scheduled a full day of rallies and speeches in the Buckeye State. They will be nowhere near Washington when the state announces the results of its presidential caucuses Saturday evening. 

The candidates see Ohio as one of the most important contests this Tuesday, when 10 states and 419 delegates are up for grabs. Still, Washington state offers two assets for candidates who perform well -- a total stock of 43 delegates and the last likely chance to generate national buzz before Tuesday. 

Paul, who has poured his campaign energy into lower-key caucus contests like that held in Maine last month, said Friday night he's looking for a "big day" in Washington on Saturday
